Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Hype up your Gaming Experience with the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 Mechanical Keyboard - Enhanced Lighting, Macros, and Customization! by Jim Kriegshauser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great keyboard overall

In comparison, my last keyboard was a CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 RAPIDFIRE Low Profile. This Alloy Elite 2 feels very good in the hands. The keys wobble a bit, but are very smooth and firm. I wasn't expecting how good it feels, it's light on the fingertips and just awesome to type on. Again, I'm used to low-profile keys, which is a huge compliment from me. I knew these keys would be louder than I'm used to, but it's actually not that bad. I press the keys hard when typing, someone who types with more grace will really like these keys. It's ridiculously bright. I'll probably never take full advantage of the lighting, I like a static red or green and I've turned the brightness way down. I wish the brightness, profile, and game buttons were backlit, but that's no big deal. The volume wheel feels nice and is more durable than the metal used on Corsair's boards. Media keys are smooth without sticking. Rubber strips on the footrest, very comfortable touch. Well, bad, that's a short list for me. First, the Ngenuity software isn't very basic. So I would recommend going to YouTube and finding a video that breaks it down. Not really that bad, but there is a small learning curve. Two here is big. I didn't like how it was sent. When I buy from Amazon I'm used to a brown box and some padding to protect my item. It was thrown in the mail as is. Shipping by UPS guarantees that the box is scattered. I was fully expecting a broken keyboard when I saw this. I don't know about other people, but I keep the box my devices come in.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • No automatic
